Machinery safety

Pilz Automation Technology has updated and added to its range of machinery safety courses to reflect changes in legislation and has published a new booklet and schedule for 2010.

Following the implementation of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Pilz has introduced a new course - 'The New Machinery Directive' - which will provide an insight on how machine manufacturers and users are affected by the changes of the new Directive. It describes the compliance processes, essential health and safety requirements and new standards, including advice regarding EN 954-1 and EN ISO 13849-1.

Further courses have been updated to address specific aspects of the new Directive and Standards.

Although Pilz trainers are qualified to address individual concerns, if a more customised approach is desired, courses can be tailored to specific needs.

Two types of course are offered: those relating to regulations and standards, and those specific to Pilz machinery safety products. Scheduled courses take place at the Pilz training facilities in Corby; additional courses can be at a venue to suit the client.
